Description
Electrodeless lamp
Field of the invention
Embodiments of the present invention relate to discharge lamps, in particular electrodeless discharge lamps in which a luminous plasma is generated by RF or microwave energy. Description of related art
High intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are widely employed in lighting thanks to their excellent luminous efficiency and colour rendition. They consist, in many instances, of a transparent envelope containing a gas that is brought in a luminous state by an electric discharge flowing across two electrodes. An electrodeless lamp is a form of discharge lamp in which a transparent bulb, filled with an appropriate composition is heated by Radiofrequency or microwave energy.
Electrodeless lamps tend to exhibit a longer lifetime and maintain better their spectral characteristics along their life than electrode discharge lamps. While requiring a radiofrequency power supply, they use bulbs of very simple structure, without costly glass-metal interfaces. Moreover, the absence of electrodes allows for a much greater variety of light-generating substances to be used than in traditional discharge lamps. Sulphur,
Selenium, Tellurium, among others, are a popular fills whose use is limited to electrodeless lamps, because they are not chemically compatible with metal electrodes.
Electrodeless lamps are interesting alternative to conventional HID lamps in general lighting application, and in all fields in which high efficiency and excellent spectral characteristics are called for like photography, movie recording, agriculture, and testing of photovoltaic equipment, among others.
A drawback of conventional electrodeless lamps and of Sulphur lamps in particular, is that the bulb must be kept in rotation to avoid the formation of hot spots that may exceed the maximum operating temperature of the quartz. This increases the cost and size of the lamp and, because the lamp has moving parts, is regarded as a reliability issue.
Several published document describe plasma lamps with special features to suppress the rotation of the bulb. The devices known by US5227698 , US6476557, US6476557 , US68731 19 , US5367226, for example, employ special microwaves polarization schemes in order to spin the plasma discharge, or limit the heat of the plasma in proximity of the envelope walls, instead than spinning the bulb. Such schemes are at least partly effective, but require a more complex microwave system. Other documents, like US61 57141 propose to address this shortcoming by adding special chemical additives to the fill, but these pose other problems of cost and toxicity. The patent EP1876633 in the name of the applicant relates to a plasma lamp in which the temperature distribution of the plasma is equalized by a resonant ultrasound wave, which is also effective, but needs additional means to generate and maintain this ultrasound wave in the plasma. In known plasma lamps the microwave energy source is often a magnetron emitting in the open 2.45 GHz band, because such generators are readily available at attractive market prices. The bulb is generally placed in a resonant cavity, connected with the magnetron by a waveguide or another transmission line. The purpose of the cavity is to improve the energy transfer to the plasma without transmitting too much power to the bulb's walls and limit the emission of radiofrequency to the outside. The
waveguide separates the very hot bulb from the magnetron and avoid that this may overheat. This introduces however additional costs, and the boundaries of the cavity may interfere with light transmission. It is an object of the present invention to propose an electrodeless plasma lamp with a stationary bulb in which the temperature of the bulb is managed in a simpler manner than in the know devices.
Brief summary of the invention
According to the invention, these aims are achieved by means of the object of the appended claims.
Brief Description of the Drawings The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description of an embodiment given by way of example and illustrated by the figures, in which:
Fig. 1 shows schematically a discharge lamp according to one aspect of the invention. Fig. 2 illustrates a variant of the inventive lamp.

Detailed Description of possible embodiments of the Invention
With reference to the Fig. 1, a discharge lamp 20 comprises a sealed transparent bulb 21 filled with a chemical composition that is suitable for producing light when it is ionized and heated to a plasma state 35. Several compositions can be used as fill in the frame of the present invention including, for example, Sulphur, Selenium, Tellurium, metal halides and mixtures thereof, in an inert atmosphere. The present invention, however, is not limited to a particular chemical composition. The bulb is realized in a transparent material capable to withstand the high temperatures and internal pressures that are reached during the
functioning of the lamp, and chemically compatible with the fill
composition. In a typical realization of the invention the operating temperature of the bulb 21 will be comprised between 600 °C and 900 °C, and the internal pressure at operation is comprised between 0.1 MPa and 2
MPa. Fused quartz (also fused silica, Si02) is a preferred material for the bulb.
According to the desired power, the size of the bulb 21 may vary between 0.5 cm3 and 100 cm3 typically around 10-30 cm3. The shape of the bulb can vary, but the spherical shape is preferred because it offers the best resistance to internal pressure.
The bulb 21 is placed in a light concentrator 51 and in an electromagnetic enclosure of metallic mesh 53. The concentrator 51 has preferably reflective walls, in order to concentrate the light generated in the bulb 22 into a beam of the desired aperture, and is electrically conductive, in order to avoid transmission of the microwaves out of the lamp assembly. The metallic mesh enclosure 53 has the function of confining the
radiofrequency field inside lamp and is connected mechanically and electrically to the lamp by any suitable means, for example by the collar 52 visible in Fig. 3. It has been found that the dimensions of the reflector 51 and of the electromagnetic enclosure 53 and the placement of the bulb in them are not critical: the lamp works satisfactorily without a need of tuning the dimension of these elements to the wavelength of the incident microwaves. In some cases where a strict electromagnetic management it is not necessary, for example when the lamp fully enclosed in a larger system, the metallic mesh 53 and/or the concentrator 51 could be suppressed. The enclosure 53 could also, in a variant, be realized with sheets of a suitable transparent, translucent, or light-transmitting substrate on which a thin electrically conductive layer is deposed. The radiofrequency source is for instance a magnetron tube 41 generating a radiofrequency signal of appropriate intensity, and having a terminal 43 that is provided by the manufacturer to couple the magnetron to a standardised waveguide. Such terminals consist typically in a coaxial transmission line having a central conductor 46 that is closed by a cap with an aperture 44, or in a hollow ¼ wavelength waveguide. The cooling fins 42 are cooled preferably by a flow of forced air from a fan (not shown).
In the lamp of the present invention the bulb 21 is mounted atop a dielectric rod 22 that is in turn welded axially to a quartz socket 25 whose inner dimension correspond to the outer dimension of the microwave terminal 43, so that the latter can fit into the socket 25. Preferably, bulb 21 , rod 22, and socket 25 are integrally fabricated in a single piece of fused quartz, but the invention contemplates also variant in which these elements are realized separately, and then assembled together, and are made of any suitable material.
It has been verified that the dimensions of the dielectric rod 22 affect the transfer of energy to the bulb 21 . Bulbs in which the rod 22 has a diameter up to 20 mm and a length up to 50 mm have provided satisfactory luminous efficiency and reliability. Preferably, the length of the rod 22 will be between 5 and 50 mm, more preferably between 10 and 25 mm. As to the diameter, it is preferably comprised between 2 mm and 20 mm, more preferably between 4 mm and 15 mm. The invention is not however limited to such dimensions.
The lamp of the invention provides strong light flux, starts up easily, and operates reliably without the need of spinning the bulb to cool it. Without willing to be limited by theory, it is believed that the dielectric rod 22 acts as a dielectric waveguide and channels the microwave energy directly into the inner volume of the bulb 21, thus obviating the absence of a resonant cavity. Electromagnetic losses in the dielectric are rather low, and so is the thermal transmission coefficient of quartz, thus the thermal load on the magnetron is well manageable. It has been found that it is preferable to have a socket slightly longer than the terminal so that an air gap 19 remains between the inner wall of the socket 25 and the terminal 43.
Fig. 2 illustrates a variant of the invention having an improved cooling system. The magnetron 41 is thermally connected to a plurality of heat pipes 63 that are in turn cooled by the stack of fins 65. The fans 72 force cool air through the fins 65 and, by the air deflectors 59 and the openings 57 in the concentrator 51 , on the bulb 21 .
Fig. 3 shows another variant of the invention in which the magnetron 41 has an output RF terminal 47 supported by a ceramic isolator 48 and coupled to a ¾ wavelength waveguide 82. The bulb 21 is equipped by a dielectric quartz rod 22, integrally fabricated with the bulb 21 that is inserted in the waveguide 82 and held in place by the collet 85, or by any suitable fixation means. This variant provide an alternative manner of connecting the bulb 22 to the magnetron with a compact waveguide that does not increase the dimensions of the lamp, and is easy to machine. It has been found that this variant of the lamp works with solid quartz rods as well as with hollow rods 22.
The bulb 21 of Fig. 3 also includes a diffuser film 23 that covers partially the outer surface of the bulb and has the function of equalizing the light output and promotes light emission in the forward direction. The diffuser film can be realized with a suitable diffuser material that is capable of withstanding the bulb's operating temperature, for example a composition of an oxide of Zr, Si, or Ti and an inorganic high-temperature binder. In alternative, the diffuser film 23 could be deposited in the inner surface of the bulb, provided it is chemically compatible with the fill, or be realized by etching, frosting or structuring the surface of the quartz bulb itself.
